Dogs will have their day at Commonwealth Reserve in Williamstown on Sunday, December 1.
It’s where the Rotary Club of Point Gellibrand will be holding its annual Dog Day in Dog Town event from 10am until 2pm.
An afternoon to be enjoyed by the whole family, not just the dog, the event consists of a dog parade and walk to Pier Farm and back, followed by dog competitions such as cutest dog, smallest dog, biggest dog, most obedient, best costume, best dressed, best tricks and best fairy dog.
There will even be competitions for the canine that most resembles their owner and the one the most looks like a famous movie character.
All dog breeds are welcome, though they must be friendly and socialise well with the other dogs.
“Bring your friends, kids and anyone who wants to show off their pooch at this event,” said Point Gellibrand Rotary Club’s Gael Meadowcraft encouraging Hobsons Bay locals and their dogs to come along.
Admission is $20 which includes entry to the dog parade and dog competitions as well as giveaways.
“There are lots of lovely grassy spots to relax, stalls and information regarding dog rescue organisations and dog adoption agencies,” Ms Meadowcraft said.
A sausage sizzle will also be on offer and if they’re lucky, there might even be a snag or two for dogs as well as their owners.
All money raised from Dog Day in Dog Town will go towards the many local charities supported by Point Gellibrand Rotary.
